I have to wonder if it matters HOW they were killed... Millions of people were killed for no reason other than they believed something that wasn't EXACTLY the same as the people in power. You know, because killing all the people who think diffferently is such a good way to prove your ideas are right... (Note: It doesn't. It only proves that your idea is the only one left.)
People are cruel evil monsters a lot of the time. There's not a single decade in history where someone wasn't using their power (with various bullshit justifications) to torture, maim, mutilate, kill, opress or otherwise harm their fellow human beings. Using and abusing power over other people somehow helps them cope with the fact that they're mortal, I guess.
If people didn't also have the potential to be good, I'd have killed myself out of shame years ago.
